Secure Your Legacy with Comprehensive Estate Planning
At Hergott Law, we believe that a well-crafted estate plan is essential for ensuring that your wishes about how your wealth should be passed on after your death are followed with a minimum of probate fees, legal fees and taxes. Effective planning will give you peace of mind that those close to you will be looked after.
Our Estate Planning Services Include:
1. Wills and Trusts: We assist in drafting legally sound wills and establishing trusts that clearly outline your wishes for asset distribution. Our goal is to ensure that your loved ones are taken care of and that your estate is managed according to your instructions.
2. Litigation Conscious: Paul puts his extensive litigation background to work to identify how your estate plan might be disrupted by lawsuits. Care is taken to protect against estate litigation which can result in significant amounts of your estate going to paying lawyers, and your wishes not being followed.
3. Estate Tax Planning: We provide strategic advice to minimize what can be a massive drain of probate fees and taxes. We will identify when specialized estate tax accounting expertise is required and will refer you to accounting experts in that field as the need arises.
4. Guardianship Designations: If you have minor children, we help you designate guardians who will care for them in the event of your passing. This is an important step in ensuring your children’s future is secure.
5. Executor options: Choosing your executor can be difficult, particularly when taking into account the burden that adding that “part-time job” to a loved one can be and how making a choice will undoubtedly cause feelings for those not chosen. At your request, we will provide options for professional executors, whether that be a corporate (bank) executor or appointing Paul Hergott.
